He's clearly whistling He's clearly whistling in that photo ; so he must be feeling good.

Modification strenght AK, Well that is always the question when modifying anything metal. I will inspect the boom every ride or every 50 miles which every occurs first. My carbon fork failure has taught me to inspect even if you don't mod something. Obviously my changes are at my own...

Elective Surgery - is a success. Ok so the bullhorn for Silvio 2 journey for me comes to and end here. The configuration is done and it works splendidly so far on the trainer. Advantages to this configuration: 1) Follows in the footpath of the Cruzbike Bullhorns 2) Compensates for...

26F + stocking hat + ski gloves; it's not too cold to learn to ride. Ok I couldn't take it any longer it was time to get on the road. Our snow is down to 5ft piles from 10ft and the roads are dry and clean thanks to a couple of days warm melting. So it was time for 30 minutes of hooky...

Flexibility If 1200 has to cover the wheels and the components; I'd strongly suggest the Cruzbike wheels; they are a complete steel at the price. That will leave you with over 800 to work with for the rest. If by components you mean just the GroupSet then I would get the SRAM product line so...

Drive the R&D and trickle.down I see nothing wrong with the Vendetta costing more. The Vendetta is the race model, it needs to cost more, volumes will probably be less, if the Cruzbike brand is to advance R&D must be funded and R&D's best ideas will come from race. The vendetta is about...

MZ, I noticed there is a MZ, I noticed there is a missing angle dimension on your drawing.

Bully for bars Ok so the handle bar saga is wrapping up; because the bars are on the bike; wired in and tape wrapped. I mentioned that there are at least two configurations that work. Before I show the final configuration; I have a few shots of the alternative / backup plan that somebody...

Selective use.. Billy, That is a very good point and one that was not lost on me. I view it as selective use technology. For me the Silvio is not an urban bike rack sort of bike. But I will: Lock it at the grocery store in a suburban area where the bike rack is empty. Leave it...

Installation of alarm Ok so here's the installation of the alarm and a video demo. Simply water proofing for now Add some velcro to mount it Velcro tie wrap to secure it to the velcro on the bar. Cover it with the head rest...

gage insterest Any one that thinking they might want a shorter extension. Go ahead and email bob (at) mylifeinrecline.com I do work with several cnc shops and might do a milling or laser run with anodized finish. So if anyone else thinks they want a 60 or 50mm part you could bundle in...

Mr. GoodBar Ok progress has been made. This has turned into a long running project, but now I'm getting results that I wouldn't have been able to guess at without doing it. Hopefully this hasn't bored anyone to death yet. I the bars that I expected to meet my goals have arrived; These...

All the way to the water bottle bolts Yes the overlap is a lot all the way to the water bottle cage bolts. That is why us short folks have to cut our booms. Mine and the wife's both got 4 in cut off.

Just that Just that Eric; inside the boom until the pivot clamp; keeping them neat and out of the way of the water bottle cage area. You just said it better than me.

Ebay link Ivan - Ebay link for the alarm is Scooter Alarm looks like the price is now $7.00 Canadian. Blame my bad memory. Eric - I'll do a burn down test with it to see; but there is an off switch in addition to the remote. I tested it last night and the wife gave me a dirty look and...

Yowza - It's loud jim The Scooter alarms arrived today courteously of Ebay @ $4.95 ea. Yowza they are LOUD! and then go off at the slightest jarring... We'll figure out how to mount them in the frame this weekend; might have to disassemble them to make them fit; but at 100g and as loud as...

Doesn't the rear do.... Eric, Does the rear one not have an optional friction mode setting? I thought it did, but I don't remember where I thought I saw that..

Low jack your bike Stumbled on this reading the blog over at fyxation.com Looks like it's shipping in the next few months. Might be one to watch. Was a KyckStarter funded project. http://bikespike.com

50mm might be it This is so very interesting because I was thinking after looking at both bike with and without the 100mm extension; that for some people a 50mm might be about right. To the point that I was considering sending my 100mm extension over to...

Had to scrap the R2C shifters The R2C shifters I think will have to be abandoned right when they seemed so close. In the reversing process to get the cable on top I had an internal stop bracket incorrectly installed. That resulted in an 11 position shifter; on a 10 gear drive train. The last...
